- ... that southern India's Papagni River is so named for having turned a king's sins to ashes?

New enough, long enough and interesting. Everything meet criteria except I don't like the hook. Base on the source you used, the river didn't burned the king's sins to ashes; it transformed it to ashes. It makes no sense that a river would burn something unless its a river of fire. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:46, 1 July 2013 (UTC)- Kavebear, thank you for the review. I've tweaked the hook. Its a mythological tale, so don't take it literally as a river of fire. The idea seems to be the river acted akin to agni (fire) in turning the king's pāpa (sins) to ashes. Hence the name. I like mythology, hence my choice of hook. If you're still not convinced, I'd be happy to look into any ALT suggestions you may have. Ashwin147 (talk) 08:22, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
